Hi all,
	First time user. Using Ant 1.6.2, webtest 1.7.

First thing I did was install and then try a modded version of the basic
sample to access our servers. It would not work. Kept coming up with 
BUILD FAILED
C:\canoo\tests\lpi-logon-test:6: taskdef A class needed by class
com.canoo.webtest.extension.GroovyStep cannot be found: org/codehau
s/groovy/control/CompilationFailedException

I had to add a line like this:
<fileset dir="../" includes="**/lib/**/*.jar"/>
To the classpaths to get it to work. Another fix I found was to copy the
latest groovy jar from the optional direction to the parent lib directory.

Then I tried the test only to have httpUnit crash and burn due to something
in the java script:
[testSpec] ERROR (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ScriptEngine) -
runtimeError: message=[Setter configured but not implemented for pr
perty "status" for
com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.Window@1fa6d18. Cant set it
to: org.mozilla.javascript.Undefined@1
4e571] sourceName=[null] line=[0] lineSource=[null] lineOffset=[0]
[testSpec]  INFO (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - Exception thrown from this
class: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ObjectInstantiati
nException
.....

So I disabled javascript testing and got:
[testSpec] INFO (com.canoo.webtest.steps.request.Target) - -> gotoTarget(by
url): http://coopers.au.lpint.net/frame_default.jsp
<http://coopers.au.lpint.net/frame_default.jsp> 
[testSpec] INFO (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - Exception thrown from this
class: com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ObjectInstantiati
nException
[testSpec] ERROR (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - Cannot handle unexpected
exception in step InvokePage at C:\canoo\tests\lpi-logon
test:23: with (stepId="get Login Page", url="/frame_default.jsp",
stepType="invoke")
[testSpec] com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.ObjectInstantiationException:
Exception when calling constructor [public com.gargoylesoftw
re.htmlunit.html.HtmlFrame(com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage,java.
util.Map)]
.....

Basically I'm reading this as httpunit not understanding something in the
HTML (frames?). 

The problem I have is that I want to setup a seris of tests for a
particularly badly written site which makes heavy usage of frames and
javascript. I need to test data entry and database results. Webtest looks
like the ideal tool, but the code behind it is looking rather immature at
the moment because I can't even get past the login page of the web site. 

Any help appreciated.
